Program impact
Positive impact

- Fishermen feel valued because they are involved in planning and decision making for the use and protection of natural resources.
- Reduced expenses for 18 family members for vegetable needs.
- There is a change in community behavior to carry out sustainable fishing practices.
- There is support from Sara Barata, BTNW, UPTD Maritime Affairs and Fisheries of Wakatobi Regency as well as the District and Village Government.
- Educational institutions are interested in using learning modules on the use of environmentally friendly fishing gear.
- Implementation of wood-saving stoves by the community.
- There is support from BUMDes to help women's groups in managing fish catches (local food diversification).
- Discussions with local institutions gave birth to the concept of mangrove forest management using a system of planting, selective logging (providing access to use of mangrove forests) and was accepted by BTNW.
- The Bajo women's group rose and Mantigola prospered, becoming a forum for transferring knowledge for the younger generation in sustainable fishery product management practices.
Negative impact
- There is a possibility that fishermen misuse supervisory and protection agencies to carry out illegal fishing because they feel they are the supervisors.
- Some people feel that the concept of protection is a matter of increasing the number of government regulations and prohibitions, narrowing catch locations.
- Firewood-saving stoves do not make people save on taking firewood.
- The program implementers were accused of being BTNW spies who would report fishermen at any time.
Best Experience
The best experience of program implementers during activities is the processes they go through with the community starting from documenting local wisdom, knowledge transfer and joint discussions in participatory planning and decision making for sustainable natural resource management.
